572. SeekingGrandparent : Hi,
My name is Sarah.
I have spent half my life wondering about my family history, origion. Longing for a sense of Belonging and Understanding.
My Mother born in August 1963, was adopted in a little in a country town either in QLD or NSW. She was roughly 6 weeks old at time of adoption. and was given to adoptive parents at a small country town hospital She was given the name i believe at time of adoption- Jann Margaret Bowden.
Noele and James Bowden are her adoptive parents and i am her Daugher.
Both Noele and James are deceased and my Mother will not discuss any details with me as i believe she made contact in late 1980’s early 1990’s
Unfortunately my Mothers wish to seek her biological parents out was not recieved well and went no further.
I feel and believe despite this, that i myself have the God Given Right to know who they are, where there from......
I also only know who my Biological Grandmother is on My Dads side. My Father no longer with us and yet another Family History i have no idea about. I want to belong! Understand my heritage. I have minimal information and im hoping that this site might help me.

581. HeatherSchmutter : I am trying to locate a person my elderly aunt has always claimed to have given birth to.
My aunt has an intellectual disability therefore we are unable to provide a correct date of birth or even narrow down the year of this birth?
I have uploaded her DNA data to the MyHeritage site in hope of finding any information at all that could confirm the birth my aunt claims to have had.
She has told me that she heard the baby’s cry‚ asked what she had‚ had was told it was a girl. When she asked if she could hold her baby‚ she was told No. And her baby was removed from the room and she has never heard or seen her child again.
582. AliGrayson : Hi I was born in Crown Street Womens Hospital 22/4/1971.
I managed to get my Memorandum of An Adoption Order/Particulars of Child Prior to Adoption. So my biological mothers name on the certificate is Valerie Jean Hilder. No fathers name is listed. My given name was Patricia Valerie Hilder.
I have been trying to get any information I can, but have only received the information I have provided.
Any information or contact I am open to.
My name became Alison-Ann Louise Grayson after I was adopted.
584. Sumara : Hello my Birth name was Catherine or Katherine not sure of the spelling. I was born on the 27th May 1974 at 2:08pm at the Mater Hospital in Newcastle, N.S.W. I was told that my mother was a Nurse and my father was a Welder.
And my mother was 19yrs of age when she gave birth to me. My Given name is Sumara and I am now 45 yrs old.
It is now time to start searching for my birth mother as she would be in her 70’s. And I need to fill the missing piece of me to complete the puzzle of life and that feeling of not really being whole or knowing who I really am.
I look forward to hearing from either of you, and hoping that it isn’t to late or you feel the same.
Kind Regards
Sumara :)
585. HeatherSchmutter : Hi I am hoping to locate a person my aunt claims to have given birth to. My aunt Heather May Schmutter- has an intellectual disability and has been adamant she had a baby. Due to her disability we are unable to give a date of birth. She has stated that the child was born in the Sutherland area in NSW. - Public or private hospitals are also unknown.
Heather has had her Dna tested hoping this will assist her with a match
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
